For the last 3 years that my child had been attending the school, it breaks my heart to know that when bullying is brought to their attention they do nothing except blaming the child being bullied or brushing it off with that child is like that to everyone. The experience with this school has made my child grow to hate school which worries me to the core. No of the teachers that we have dealt with have been willing to listen and work with us when it came to my child and their solution to everything is put them on pills especially when the doctors and other instructors such as coaches and what not say the child does not need pills. I hope this review sheds light on the problems at hand and the school can re-evaluate it's the approach when it comes to dealing with all students.
